Annual Conference Highlight - Adding Value: Other Duties as Assigned

This year’s Annual Conference will offer 15 breakout sessions representing three Learning Tracks. The third Learning Track is “Adding Value: Other Duties as Assigned”. As in-house physician recruitment professionals, we often find ourselves wearing many hats. This Learning Track offers sessions that focus on some of those other areas of responsibility:

How to Navigate Competition and Attract Talent in Today’s Economic Conditions
As the economic conditions improve, attraction and retention of a talented workforce becomes even more difficult, and competition becomes fierce. Learn how to create engagement that will not only attract and retain winners, but have them performing at their best!

Coaching for Results
Coaching is rapidly becoming a proven skill for achieving greater organizational success. Engage in interactive experiences that will develop key coaching skills to support sourcing, interviewing and recruiting top physician talent. Recruit in a new, more effective way.

Make Yourself Indispensable to the C-Suite – Strategies for Recruitment, Integration and Retention
Value-based purchasing is driving transparency of performance, consumer choice, and reimbursement. Explore how recruiters who understand this and advocate for new strategies and analyses to integrate medical staff development with strategic planning secure their position and relevance to the organization.

Best Practices to Manage Disruptive Behavior
Healthcare organizations continue to be challenged with how to effectively manage the fallout from disruptive physician behavior and successfully retain the physician. Learn how you can support your leaders and add value to the conversation.

More than a Hospital Orientation: Onboarding for Long-Term Retention
Newly recruited physicians are most vulnerable during the first two years of practice. Discover methods to retain the physicians you work so hard to recruit with a customized onboarding program driven by organizational leadership and integrating strategies for the practice, hospital, medical staff and community.

New FASPR Recertification Requirements

As a Fellow of the Association of Staff Physician Recruiters (FASPR), it is important to demonstrate continued commitment to education and advancement in the physician recruitment profession. In an effort to ensure that FASPRs maintain an appropriate level of education commensurate with the FASPR designation, ASPR has developed FASPR recertification requirements.

Beginning January 1, 2012, FASPR certification will be valid for three years from the date of certification. Recertification will be required within three months of the FASPR expiration date. FASPRs who obtained certification prior to January 1, 2012 will have three years to obtain their recertification requirements beginning on January 1, 2012.

The following requirements must be met in order to recertify and maintain your FASPR status:

Must be a current ASPR Member in good standing

Obtain a minimum of 24 CE Credits over the three year period since most recent FASPR certification

If 24 CE Credits are not obtained, recertification may also be obtained by re-taking and passing all three fellowship exams

Requirements must be met within three months of FASPR expiration

If these criteria are met, you will receive a new FASPR Certificate upon your recertification. Once you have re-certified three times, you will receive a Lifetime Certification and will not be required to re-certify again.
